In his welcome address, the National President, Dr Daniel Kasser Tee indicated that the CIMG Awards remains a cornerstone of the institute’s mandate to set standards for the practice of marketing in Ghana. 

“This platform allows CIMG to acknowledge the efforts and achievements of marketing practitioners and marketing-oriented organisations that have consistently demonstrated innovation, creativity and effectiveness in their respective industries,” Dr Kasser Tee said.

“To ensure survival and sustainable growth, organisations must rely on their marketing teams, recognising their vital role in understanding customer needs and driving business success – especially in today’s dynamic business environment of uncertainties and intense competition from local and international sources across industries,” he added. 

Previous awards praised for their achievements

Speaking about the awards, the National Vice-President of CIMG and Chairman of the Awards Planning and Selection Committee, Mr Theodore Osae, praised the CIMG for its achievements in previous awards ceremonies. 

He believed the awards had greatly contributed towards improvements in organisational and professional performances, especially for practicing marketers.

The awards cover six major competitive areas: Hall of Fame, Personality, Media and Marketing Communications organisations, Business organisations, Products, and Not-for-Profit organisations.

There is also a non-competitive award category known as the CIMG President’s Special Awards. These are given to conspicuous achievers in any endeavour, or to a business entity, product or service that has positively contributed to national progress.
